Practice

I haven't been very good at blogging everyday already, but I'll keep trying.
Anyways I have a project coming up where I'll be shooting new model cars. The problem is I've never tried this, and lighting a car is really tough.
I've kind of found a couple of major problems already though.

1. Location is 85% of making a great car picture.
2. Shade is your friend
3. When working with little lights, let the ambient do the heavy lifting.

I'm pretty nervous about the whole thing. I really want it to jump off the page but I'm still not completely comfortable shooting a car yet.

Here's a few of my first attempts.
